Writings and Publications of Noli Me Tangere
Noli Me Tangere Published in Berlin (1887) The bleak winter of 1886 was memorable in the life of Rizal for two reasons: first, it was a painful episode for he was hungry, sick and despondent in a strange city and, second, it brought him great joy, after enduring so much sufferings, because his first novel Noli Me Tangere camoe off the press in March, 1887. Like the legendary “Santa Claus”, Dr. Maximo Viola, his friend from Bulacan, arrived in Berlin at the height of his despondency and loaned him the needed funds to publish the novel.
Idea of Writing the Novel in the Philippines After he read the novel Uncle Tom 's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, he had an inspiration to write his own novel with the same topic–to expose Spanish colonial abuse in print. Beecher Stowe 's novel describes black slavery abuse done by white men.
References: * Noli was eventually printed in Berlin, Germany. The printing was finished earlier than the estimated five months. Viola arrived in Berlin in December 1886, and by March 21, 1887, Rizal had sent a copy of the novel to his friend Blumentritt.
